One More Night - Lyrics by Ani Difranco


Lyrics

I come to your town
Like thirsty lips to a cup
I come to your town
And i wanna call you up
I don't know how you feel
But i hope you feel the same
I've broken every speed limit in your name
Sometimes i just wanna bury my head in a hole
Tell me do you have the kind of touch that can console
I wanna hold my hands over my eyes during the scary scenes
Will you stay with me at night and stand guard over my dreams
Will you stand guard over my dreams
You feel like you're out on a long limb
Like you've risked it all
But i'll go out there with you
And when the bough breaks
The cradle will just fall
I'd rather go down knowing what it was like
Than to keep myself company
One more night
One more night
And i've got something new
Something i didn't have before
You were a big dark room
A room without a door
If you will shelter me
I will fill your vacancy
We don't even need the walls, the ceiling, or the floor
And i've got something for you too
Something you probably don't need
You can buy it for the pictures, baby
Find out its a real good read
I just hope you still want it
Cause i'm bringing it to you
I'm gonna come to your town
I'm gonna call you up
Then i don't know what i'm gonna do
You feel like you're out on a long limb
Like you've risked it all
And if the bough breaks
The cradle will just fall
I'd rather go down knowing what it was like
Than to keep myself company
One more night
One more night
I come to your town
Like thirsty lips to a cup
I come to your town
And i'm gonna call you up
I don't know how you feel
But i hope you feel the same
I've broken every speed limit in your name
And sometimes i just wanna bury my head in a hole
Tell me do you have the kind of touch that can console
I wanna hold my hands over my eyes during the scary scenes
Tell me will you stay with me at night and stand guard over my dreams
Will you stand guard over my dreams
Will you stand guard over my dreams....
